Disney was 12th, Haberman 15th and Sann tied for 16th. Waters was second in interceptions and Lehman first in fumble recoveries. “Our record was not what the kids had hoped for, but our nondistrict schedule had us playing some difficult games and we have no control over that anymore,” said Hansch. “There were also no gimmes in our district. We had to be ready every night and to play the full four quarters. Had we beaten South Central Calhoun or Forest City things would have been much different. Those were two games where we did not play all four quarters like we would have wanted. We were still second in the district in total offense, and I was pleased with our yardage. However, we failed in the red zone more often this year than in the past and we need to correct that.” Hansch then talked about his team’s defense. “We were not sound, and we’ll certainly take a look at that for next year,” said the head mentor. “We gave up a lot of yards, which is traditionally not like us to do. It was a good group of seniors this year, and some had a lot of varsity experience while others got their first chance at varsity action. We received good leadership from all of them, and those guys took care of things in the training room. It was nice having the biggest line, on both sides of the ball, on most nights and we took advantage of that size. That is rare for us. I feel we kept defenses more honest with our new offense, and did get a lot of long touchdown runs. My hope is that our seniors will not dwell on just this year, but look at their four years overall. They had a nice run of success in their high school football careers.”
Randy Stoen wins Pigskin Picks Two contestants tied with 9-3 records in week 11 of the Monitor’s Pigskin Picks contest.

Contestants at 8-4 included Paul Larson, Roger Abbott, Rob Schmidt, Bill Roberts, Julie SchmidtThornton, Landon Olson and Knoshaug. The NFL games gave the most trouble to the contestants, with nearly everyone missing the Panthers win over the 49’ers. With that in mind, this week’s all-NFL slate should really test everyone. All we can say is good luck!
Going into this final week of the contest, several people still have a shot at being season champion. The current standings are: Logan Holmes 101 correct; Roger Abbott 100; Russ Schumacher 100; Dee Baker 98; Jane Abbott 98; Rob Schmidt 97; Paul Larson 92; Scott Simmons 92 and Cortney Olson 90.
